Frans/Francis DeLong comes next, born about 1717. "He appears in the Poughkeepsie court recrods as Frans De Langh, Jr. He was 'junior' to his uncle Frans. Note: I've been wanting to call Grandpa Fred Daugherty Junior, to his uncle Fred. Wasn't sure it was correct.
By 1741 Frans had married Catherine Dymant, the daughter of Edward Dymant and his wife Christina Schneider. The last record of Frans is a daughter's 1743 baptism, and he had moved to Lower Smithfield, Northampton (now Monroe) County, Pennsylvania, sometime from 1750 to 1755. On Jan. 12, 1756 'Frans delong' appears on Captain John Vanetta's Company during the French and Indian War. He presumably had married for a second time because he had three children baptized on the same day in 1763; the parents were recorded as 'Frans DeLong and Hannah Carley of Smithfield'."
The next generation is John DeLong, baptized Sept. 19, 1742 in Poughkeepsie. He died at the age of 94. In December 1755 the Indians "sacked the Danbury settlement, killing scores of settlers and burning over 40 houses and milles. John probably saw service at this time as his grave marker calls him, 'a soldier of the French and Revolutionary War.' The area became deserted except for a few hardy settlers. Dansbury was later rebuilt as Stroudsburg.
About 1763 John married Rachel Pew/Pugh. Rachel was baptized at Smithfield on May 22, 1748, the daughter of Hugh Pugh and his wife Helena Brink.
John enlisted in the Continental Line inDecember 1776 for three years, but he was not discharged until February 1781. He spent the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. John and Rachel sold their land in Pennsylvania in September 1806, and the Winans-Delong part reached Milton Township in Trumbull County, Ohio, on June 21, 1807. John DeLong died there on Feb. 15, 1835 and is buried in the Eckis Cemetery. John is my second cousin 6 times removed.

Arie Fransen DeLong - New Netherlands Connections
For quite some time I've subscribed to Dorothy Koenig's New Netherlands Connections. This is a 28 page newsletter concerning Dutch connections to New Netherlands, including New York City. It's published quarterly. The March 2005 edition concerns Ellener DeLong Winan, 3rd cousin 5 times removed. Also included is her ancestry.
I was unaware of what and where New Netherlands was so checked Wikipedia. "New Netherland was the 17th century colonial province of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands on the East Coast of North America. The settled areas are now part of the Mid-Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut, with small outposts in Pennsylavania and Rhode Island. New Amsterdam was located at the southern tip of the island of Manhattan on Upper New York Bay."
Though I have a generation earlier on record, Franciscus De Langet, the author of the article, John Baldwin begins with the son of Franciscus..Arie Fransen. He is my 7th great grandfather with several spellings of his name. In my files Arie is Arie Franssen De Langet. His name means "Adrian, son of Frans". "He first appears in New York in 1670 as a militiaman of Ulster County. About 1677 he married Rachel Jansen Pier, the daughter of Jan Teunissen Pier and his wife Maria Jans."
Arie may have been in New Netherland as early as 1659 arriving aboard the ship De Trouw (The Faith) from the Netherlands as 'Arent Franken from Jever'. "Jever is a town near the North Sea coast of Germany not too far from the Dutch border. Of interest is that there is a town called Lange about ten kilometers southeast of Jever. Could this be the source of Arie's surname occasionally spelled Langet or Langerth? Or did DeLong simply derive from his stature, since 'de lang' is Dutch for 'the tall'? Arie's children generally used the spelling DeLang for their surname; his grandchildren used DeLong." The writer seems to feel that Ari had children from an earlier wife.
He is last found in an Ulster County deed dated February 1694 as Ariann ffrance. After his death, Rachel married Albert Hendrickson Ploeg on April 17, 1699.
Jan (Johannes) DeLang is Arie's son...the sixth of ten children. "He was born about 1680 in Rochester, Ulster County, New York according to the record of his marriage at Kingston on Sept. 29, 1712 to Anna Magdalena Wyser, born in Germany, daughter of Joann Conrad Wyser/Weiser, Sr. and his first wife, Anna Uebele. Jan and Anna Magdalena crossed the Hudson from Ulster County to Dutchess County about 1716."
I'm going to continue this writing in the next blog. Genealogy is a great way to learn geography. Try it...you'll like it.

Bartholomew Notes - 3
I'm really not sure where I found these extensive findings for the Bartholomew family. They were given to me by Aunt Dolores many, many years ago. They were the beginnings of an interest in genealogy for me. I think they were compiled by that Bartholomew cousin of my grandmother, Irene Daugherty. There are many places, dates, etc. I am only picking out the more interesting. If a reader would like, I'd be glad to send a copy of the entire documents and also the earlier one that I reported on.
William Humphrey, who died in 1573, was my 12th great grandfather. He came into possession of Friars Manor in Co. Essex, in 1544 when the religious houses were confiscated by Henry VIII. I'll have to remember this on my next trip to Great Britain.
Robert Humphrey, my 10th great grandfather, was a justice of the peace and mayor of Thaxted (England)in 1634.
John Houghton, 10th great grandfather, born about 1618. He fled England, to New England, from "religious troubles in the Civil War, but returned to England as soon as it was safe for him to do so."
The above John's son, also John, came to New England before 1650 on the ship "Abigail" and later moved to Lancaster, Mass. where he and his family lived though the Indian massacres. All survived.
Jonathan Houghton, b. 1685, my 7th great grandfather, was the first treasurer of Worcester County, Massachusetts.
Rufus Houghton, born 1751, 5th great grandfather, was one of the Minute Men in Sgt. Daniel Wilder's Co., Col. John Whitcomb's Reg't, which marched on the alarm, April 19, 1775.
Thirza Houghton, my 3rd great grandmother's tombstone is located in Sucker Brook Cemetery, Waddington, NY.
Jacob Farrar, 9th great grandfather, came to New England in 1653, settling in Lancaster, Mass. He had wife Anna had two sons killed in the Indian raid on Lancaster.
Simon Willard, 9th great grandfather, was a wealthy man. He was a merchant and dealt with the Indians in furst. He was a first settler of Concord, Mass., and was deputy to the General Cour 1636-1654.
John Whitcomb, b. 1588. 9th great grandfather, came to New England in 1634. He was the largest landholder in Lancaster, Mass.
His son Jonathan, wife, Hannah, was killed by Indians in the Lancaster area.
General John Whitcomb, 6th great grandfather, born 1713, was a noted soldier, served in the French and Indian War. He was a Brigadier-General being appointed by George Washington. There is much in print regarding John Whitcomb. Must check some websites out regarding John.
Nicholas Wilder was my 13th great grandfather. He was a leading soldier in the army of the Earl of Richmond at the Battle of Bosworth, 1485. In 1497 King Henry VII, King of England, gave him the estate of Shiplake House, co. Oxford, England as a reward for his loyalty. Another place to find on my next trip to England.
My 8th great grandmother, Mary Hayward Fairbanks, was born in Concord, Mass. in 1667. She had married Jonathan Fairbanks who was killed by Indians at Lancaster in 1697 and she was taken prisoner by the Indians and taken to Canada and held until Jan. 17, 1699. While held captive by the Indians she acquired a knowledge of herbs which resulted after her return in her dispensing medicine and being called Doctress Whitcomb (having married David Whitcomb). Must check this out as well on the Internet.
Richard Welby, b. 1564, 11th great grandfather, has a family line that goes "back endlessly and fills two large notebooks. I believe one could devote unlimited time to this tracing and still never complete the lineage. Enclosed is the line back to William the Conqueror, and from there it can be traced to Charlemagne, etc.
Rev. John Lyford, 9th great grandfather, a graduate of Oxford University, born in Ireland. He came to Plymouth, Mass. in 1624 where he was the first pastor. He was a troublemaker and was constantly in trouble and was banished from Plymouth.
John Otis, 8th great grandfather, served in King Philip's War. "He was of a pugnacius disposition and had many brushes with the law."
Honorable William Thomas, born in Wales, 1573, 10th great grandfather, was deputy to the General Court in 1641 and in 1642 was selected Deputy Governor of the Mass. Bay Colony.
Capt. Nathaniel Thomas, 9th great grandfather, was ensign, then lietenant, and finally captain, succeeding Capt. Miles Standish. Need to read up on this.
John Waite, 8th great grandfather, was deputy to the General Court in 1666. He helped revise the laws of the colony of Mass.
Joseph Hills, b. about 1602, 10th great grandfather, came to Boston on the ship "Susan and Ellen". He was deputy to the General Court and later speaker of the House of Deputies. He prepared and wrote the first code of laws for the New England Colonies. Must check up on him also.
There are so many last names in this writing that are unfamiliar to me. It brings together a whole new way of observing my heritage. There are endless hours ahead of me, searching out information for the names I've mentioned on this blogsite, and the many, many that I didn't include. A family chart, concisely drawn out, very impressive was also included. Again, let me know if you want copies.

Bartholomew Notes - 2
Let's continue this interesting family...the Bartholomews. Going through these notes gives me the opportunity to do some searching on the internet and also become more acquainted with important geography related to our family.
Thomas Gregson b. in Coventry, Eng., was my 10th great grandfather. He came to New Haven Colony in 1637. "He was one of the chief men of the colony and on Ja. 1643/47, on official business of the colony, he sailed on a vessel of 80 tons, bound for England. The ship was never heard from again and was immortalized by Longfellow, in the 'Phantom Ship.'" At www.colonialwarsct.org the poem can be found as well as a bit of history, with Thomas "Gregston" included.
The Carrington Line is included in this manuscript. John Carrington was a carpenter. He was apparently a lawless man as he was consistantly in trouble. Both he and his wife, were hanged as witches in March, 1652. Note: There is much to be found concerning John and Joan. The connection to our family is supposedly Rebecca Carrington. This has not been substantiated. Rebecca is my 8th great grandmother. She married Abraham Andrus.
John Deming, b. abt. 1615, my 8th great grandfather, was "a very noted man in the colony and had many prominent descendants. They were a wealthy family. John Deming was named in the Charter of Conn., granted by King Charles." He married Honor Treat. There is much on the Internet concerning John Deming and Honor's father, Richard Treat.
Richard Treat was born in 1584. He and his wife Alice Gaylord came to New England in 1637. He "was a man of wealth and high social standing. He was a deputy to the General Court (similar to a state senator today), and was called Richard Treat, Esq. Richard was my 9th great grandfather.
My 8th great grandfather was Lieut. Walter Fyler. The house he built in Windsor, Mass. is still standing is now the home of the Windsor Historical Society.
Elder John Strong, b. 1605, was "one of the most important men in the founding of New England. He was my 8th great grandfather. There is quite a bit of information concerning this gentleman on the Internet.
I need to leave the blogsite, but will continue with this information...much concerning families that we don't always realize that we are descended from.

More Bartholomew Notes
It's been such a long time since I've posted anything in my Daugherty/Carrington Blog. Just returned from the post office where I've sent out my Sept. Prairie Roots Newsletter and I need to get started with my blog again.
Months ago, I shared information that was gotten from a cousin of my grandmother, Irene Carrington Daugherty. I have another yellowed page of his information. The author is possibly a Robert Bartholomew. This particular chart deals with families. I'm not going to write everything down, as much has been included on this blogsite already. Just some interesting facts...
William Bartholomew, born 1602 (my 9th great grandfather)- He and his wife Anna Lord are both buried in Charlestown, Mass. next to John Harvard, founder of Harvard college. "Important man in the colony."
Isaac Barthomew, b. 1791 (my 4th great grandfather) - First settler in Waddington, N.Y. The home he built still stands in Waddington. Note: Need to check this out. Isaac's stones and those of Lydia Deming Crampton Bartholomew were buried in Sucker Brook Cemetery and their stones are still standing. Would love to visit that area.
Capt. John Johnson,b. 1590(my 10th great grandfather) - Came to Plymouth in 1630. Was made "Surveyor General of All Ye King's Armies in America". He was founder of Ancient and Honourable Artillery Co. of Roxbury, Mass. Note: There is some interesting reading on this organization on the Internet.
My 9th great grandfather, Capt. Isaac Johnson, born 1615, was killed while crossing a tree into the fort at Naragansett Fort Fight with the Indians, on Dec. 19, 1975 (King Philip's War). Much information can be found on the Internet.
My 8th great grandmother, Mary Johnson, born 1642, married William Bartholomew. They lived at Deerfield, Mass., where their daughter, Abigail was captured by Indians and taken to Canada. She was redeemed and returned eight months afterwards.
I'm going to continue for the next few blogs, reviewing this information. Very interesting...it's been awhile since I've gone over it...the very purpose of this blogsite.

Louella Alice Pepper Wycoff Daugherty
As I've mentioned before, one purpose of this blogsite is to review my many folders of information. Whenever I do this, I find new information and also new questions. I'd like to share with you an E-Mail from Edith Svenson. I've had many E-Mails from her, however not for a couple of years. I am sending her Prairie Roots and so far haven't gotten it returned to me, which leads me to think that she may be unable to communicate any longer. I would love to get in touch with her again.
Here is her Feb. 1, 2001 communication:
"Dear Lori (aunt Lori) and Judy...Jacob Pepper is Louella Alice Pepper Wycoff Daugherty's father. I have his name off of Louella's social security application. She lists her parents as Jacob Pepper and Alice A. Tuttle. They are buried in the Green Valley Cemetery, Green Valley, Tazewell County, Illinois. Jacob was born April 6, 1848 and died May 29, 1888. Alice died April 10, 1876 at 22 years 11 months15 days. Louella was only three years old when her mother died. Don't know if Jacob remarried or not. I have a picture of Jacob. Note: Jacob is my 2nd great grand uncle. He did remarry to Mary Wiggins and they had three children as well as Mary having two from a previous marriage. My aunt had told me that Louella had married her second or third cousin. According to this it looks like it was her first cousin." Note: Edward was Louella's first cousin.
Edward Daugherty had a brother Richard."Richard had a daughter named, Leland Marjorie Daugherty. She had an illegitimate child by Lorraine Ernster who was Louella's grandson. The son was adopted out and he has just found out who his family was in this year. Note: I believe that Lee named the boy Richard and his name was changed to Tom by his adoptive parents. He is in his early 70's. Leland, called Lee Tibbetts, had another son but he died when young. Note: His name was Gary Belnap. Sounds like she never really got over his death.
Here is Louella's obituary that I just received in the mail Monday: Louella A. Daugherty 97, of 1503 Cottonwood Drive, Richland (wonder what state - there doesn't seem to be a Richland, Illinois. There is a Tri-City Tribune, serving the Columbia area of Washington. Cities included are Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.)died this morning at Heather House. Mrs. Daugherty was born in Delavan Ill., and lived in the Tri-Cities 13 years. Note: Delavan is south of Peoria. She was a member of the Christian Church of Delavan. She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Myrle Rawstern, Richland, two grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. This last is not true because she had 4 other grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. This is all I know for now. Keep in touch." Edith
I would love to find out more about Louella's children and grandchildren and also get in touch with Edith again.

First Whitcomb in America (Bartholomew/Carrington Families)
I'm nearly at the end of a general skimming from "Direct Descent Lineage Report", prepared for me by Jeff Linscott. You will probably want to look at the two preceding posts to understand how this John Whitcomb, born 1588 in Somerset Co., England relates to our family. I've been receiving "The Whitcomb Wheel" for several months now (need to send in my money for renewing my subscription) and have needed an opportunity to look through this information.
John Whitcomb (my 9th great grandfather)is believed to have been the first of the Whitcomb family to settle permanently in America. There is much debate as to the relationship of some of the early Whitcombs, as Jeff as attested. The John in this writing was probably the second son of John and Anne Harper Whitcomb of London. The English Whitcombs were of the Established Church in England. During the time of "spiritual awakening and religious fervor" certain members of the family became Puritans...John being one. What part religion had in encouraging John's emigration must "be left to conjecture" but it doubtless had its influence.
John appeared in Dorchester (MA) as early as 1633. He may have been on the ship Arbella in 1630. Not much is written about those days in Dorchester, however later evidence shows him to have been well-to-do for the times, a man of intelligence and enterprise and did much buying and selling of land. His handwriting was strong and it is obvious that he was a man of academical education.
In 1640 he lived in Scituate, Mass, where he owned land. There is an interesting event in which John's (then seventy years old) neighbor, Steven Gates, accused the Whitcomb family of the killing of Gate's swine. John primarily raised corn, tobacco, flax, garden herbs and vegetables. The farm probably yielded maple sugar and there may have been an orchard. "Log houses were the rule in the time of John....They were usually one story and an attic. Small openings in the log walls served as windows, and were protected at night by shutters made of hewn planks. Sometimes glass was simulated by the use of skins scraped to semi-transparency or by the skins of bladders. Later the luxury of small panes of greenish glass was introduced. A huge chimney in the middle of the house provided a fireplace which served the purpose of heating and cookery and in Lancaster, each family ground its own corn until a miller with his wheel and millstones arrived."
After some thirty years of this primitive life in the Colony, eight of it spent in Lancaster, John died September 24, 1662...about 74 years old and was buried in "the old burying ground". No fragment of even a battered stone marks his resting place.
John was married in England, Nov. 26, 1623 in Tauton, Somerset Co.,to Frances Coggen. Francis died in 1671 in Lancaster, MA.
"The American Whitcombs have been patriotic and loyal from the earliest times. They did valiant service in the Colonial Wars and during the Revolution father and sons, sometimes to the number of five or six from one home were found in the ranks."
The grandfather of this John Whitcomb was named William and was born in 1528 in London, England and died in 1612 in Essex, England. He married Dorothy Taylor about 1558 apparently had only 1 child, the father of the above John.
John Whitcomb (my 9th great grandfather)is believed to have been the first of the Whitcomb family to settle permanently in America. There is much debate as to the relationship of some of the early Whitcombs, as Jeff as attested. The John in this writing was probably the second son of John and Anne Harper Whitcomb of London. The English Whitcombs were of the Established Church in England. During the time of "spiritual awakening and religious fervor" certain members of the family became Puritans...John being one. What part religion had in encouraging John's emigration must "be left to conjecture" but it doubtless had its influence.
